Disclaimer: Hey guess what? I now own Star Trek and never have to write any more disclaimers. HAHAHAHHA.*wakes up* oh darn.well, you know the drill.I own nothing.sniffles.except this story.and a water bottle.
Although the bridge was silent, an air of certain urgency lingered over the heads of the crew. Everyone knew, whether they realized it or not, that they each had their own small role in recovering the captain and her chief of security. Each one of them worked in silence, making only the occasional comment of ideas, which were quickly shot down before they even reached the bridge. The ship was silent.all that could be heard was the gentle hum of the warp core, its blue flames pressing against the shields that surrounded it as if trying to escape its prison. But at the moment, the warp core was being monitored by B'Elanna Torres.
Her eyes glared at the screen as she watched the diagnostic results fly across the screen. Thankfully, the warp core was in good health, but they still could find no trace of the shuttlecraft. "
Dammit!" she yelled, her curse echoing through the sober Engineering. Wiping a little sweat from her brow, B'Elanna looked up. Dozens of faces were turned her way, each with the same frozen expression of wide eyes and O's for mouths. B'Elanna glared each face, which in turn returned to its previous task. B'Elanna angrily slapped her commbadge.
"Torres to Bridge." Chakotay's tense voice rang out over the floors of Engineering. "I hope you found something Lieutenant. I could use some good news right about now." B'Elanna sighed. "We can't find anything down here. I've given everything we have to the sensor sweeps and we still can't find anything." Chakotay rubbed his temple. "Let me know if you find anything. Chakotay out." He said, leaving a very annoyed B'Elanna on the other end of the commline.
Chakotay leaned back in the command chair. The news that he had received from B'Elanna had not been promising. Not only could they find no trace of the shuttle, there was no trace of a warp trail, hull fragments, debris.nothing.that worried Chakotay. Chakotay was not the type of man to throw his whole heart into something or someone at first glance, but it had been different with Kathryn. With Kathryn, he had felt an unspoken understanding, a sort of deep mutual respect. She was someone he could rely on, he had sensed that immediately about her, even if it took him a while to believe it. Here was a woman who could accept him, if not truly understand him. This was a woman who would love him unconditionally.Chakotay laughed at himself inside his head.he remembered how for so many years he had panged for Kathryn. He wanted to be the one who woke up beside her every morning. He wanted to be her confidant, her friend. He, he would admit to himself that he wanted to be her lover.
Chakotay's gaze drifted over to the doors of her Ready Room. Chakotay almost expected them to slide open to reveal a captain who was ready for business. Chakotay stood, leaving the bridge to Tom and entered the Ready Room. The scent of her hit Chakotay almost immediately. He could smell the lingering scent of day-old coffee, mixed with that perfume she always wore.
And there she was, sitting at her desk, looking up at him expectantly. "Commander." She stated, a hint of curiosity laced the edges of her voice. Chakotay smiled at her as he stopped just short of her desk. "Do I have to have a reason for visiting my favorite captain?" Kathryn gave him an amused smile.
"Last time I checked, I was the only captain on this ship unless there's something you're not telling me." She eyed him teasingly. "I was just wondering if there is anything you would like taken care of while you are away." Kathryn stood. "There is just a small list." She slid a PADD across the desk. Chakotay read it incredulously. "Small.list?" Kathryn moved to lean on the front of her desk. "I came up with a few extra things."
Half an hour later, they were seated on the couch facing the window in her Ready Room, still going over the list. "Oh, and check with Engineering and see if they have fixed that problem with the microfractures in the hull plating." Chakotay sighed, exasperated. "Kathryn, I've been a captain before. I think I can handle a ship for a few days. Don't worry." Kathryn smiled sheepishly. "I guess I am being a little overprotective." A small silence settled between them, until Kathryn broke it. "Oh and don't for-." Chakotay cut her off by placing a finger over her lips. Kathryn looked surprised, then smiled under his finger. They stayed that way for quite some time until Chakotay moved his hand to cup her face and dipped his face to kiss her.
It was a soft, gentle kiss. Their lips parted and Kathryn found herself staring deep into Chakotay's dark eyes. Kathryn could get lost in those eyes. She slid her hand behind his head and returned his kiss. In that kiss, Kathryn could feel every wall she had built up against Chakotay, her emotions, those dimples! come tumbling down. Some small part of her mind screamed for her to end the kiss, but she didn't want it to end. This kiss continue until. "Tuvok to Captain Janeway." The spell was broken. Kathryn pulled back, feeling herself instantly become the captain again. "Go ahead." She replied. "We have reached the outskirts of the asteroid field and the shuttle is prepared for launch." Janeway nodded approvingly. "On my way." She stood and Chakotay followed. Janeway smiled at him and Chakotay returned the smile. As she turned to exit her ready room to the bridge, Chakotay found himself amused at the fact that her step wasn't as steady as it usually was, and smiled at his effect on her.
Phew! Okay, my 1st kissing scene. I would really love to hear what you thought. Not too bad, I hope. Well, please read and review. I made this chapter a bit longer, and I'll try to post something tomorrow even though it is Thanksgiving. I know what I'm thankful for.hehe.dimples.sooo anyway, it might take me a while because I am also working on an alternate timeline for Voyager that includes children, a new character, and the Borg! So.Hypothetical question: If Janeway had a daughter, what would she name her? I'd really like an answer for that, so let me know. Email me at : wasbeamedup@aol.com and Happy Thanksgiving!
